But has anyone managed to actually get anything into their door pockets as for me access is so bad they are completely pointless :(. Dont get me started on the ones behind the seats :rofl:
Storage for bits and bobs in the Z4C is very minimalist. The glove compartment can take one glove. In the door pockets I have one small cloth for window wiping. The compartments behind the seats are more useful now that I have fitted seats from an M3 with tilt function.
On the whole though just learn to live without stuff and enjoy the ride.

I actually manage to get good service from those door pockets and the glove box... Drivers side contains: a seatbelt pad (incase the seatbelt starts irritating me on long journeys), a tin of breath mints and 4 x co-op fold-up shopping bags, the Passenger side has: an umbrella and spare shades for my passenger. Glove box has: sunblock, spare shades for me, torch, phone charger and A-Z Road atlas...

But the pouches behind the seats - REALLY???? :headbang: Someone needs to answer for those!!!!

Perfect for sunglasses without need of a case, aux cable, phone charger & Tim of mints. Not sure what else you would need without it being superfluous to any trip you are on. Appreciate I am fairly new to E86 ownership but have to say I love the interior - everything you need and nothing you don’t :thumbsup:

Found it bought the replacement clip and broke that - resorted to sticking it shut and using the door pockets :headbang:

Ah right! :rofl:

To be fair even when it works it tends to just eject your sunglasses as it opens so you aren't missing much! :roll:

I fitted a new catch to mine. I kinda miss the old auto dispensing of sunglasses at random moments 8)
